RSD 2015 Spotlight: Sleaford Mods - Tiswas EP.
They're certainly not Mods, and they're not from Sleaford either. These two lads from Maggie Thatcher's hometown of Grantham, Lincolnshire, have burst into the limelight in recent years with their abrasive, punk-infused lo-fi sound. I mention Thatcher because Sleaford Mods seemingly stand against everything she represented. They're loud, they're often obscene in their words and sometimes slightly controversial. Come to think of it, that is a bit like Thatcher but there is one difference - Sleaford Mods are bloody good at what they do. They too are taking part in the madness of Record Store Day this year, releasing Tiswas, a track from their latest LP as a limited edition EP. There's only 1,000 of them, and they look (and sound) great.
